Melanie Fiona Covers Kanye's 'Heartless'
Want to know what happens when a song sung by someone who can't sing gets covered by someone who can? Well, an audience in London got to experience this for themselves when the newest Soul sensation Melanie Fiona did just that to Kanye West's "Heartless." Melanie takes her former tour mate's track and actually makes it listenable and enjoyable unlike his Mr. Roboto foolishness.
Real singing: 1. Auto-Tune: 0.

A real live singer w/a real live band. *refreshing*

Vivrant Thang | April 1, 2009 10:37 PM | PermalinkI LOVED it!!!!!!!! She made this song her own. I can't wait to her CD drops.

Ye would have been better off giving her that jawn instead of autotuning it all to be damned.
wow.
